Living, Working and Parenting as an Expat. Culture, Motherhood and Coping Abroad. April 25, 2014. I know its been a while since I wrote about anything, but in all honesty its been tough thinking of something worthwhile to share. I mean I could write about all the usual stuff (things I love about being abroad, things I hate about it, the baby, working abroad etc….) but you’ve heard it all before. However I felt I had to write about this news I heard yesterday that really shocked me! That’s a enormou...

Living, Working and Parenting as an Expat. Culture, Motherhood and Coping Abroad. What I think Bogota is missing……. November 19, 2013. I live in one of the largest capital cities in South America containing 7,363,782 inhabitants, this is why the streets are always full of people and the transport is a nightmare. So it got me thinking, what does London have that Bogota doesn’t that could help this situation? And the answer that I’ve come up with is a POSTAL SERVICE! But then again would it work? The answe...

Living, Working and Parenting as an Expat. Culture, Motherhood and Coping Abroad. Isn’t it common sense? October 1, 2014.

In 2011, 37% of traffic accidents that resulted in death were those of cyclists and pedestrians. 46.2% were of motorcyclists. To make things worse, Seat belts are only mandatory for front-seat passengers in a private veh...

Living, Working and Parenting as an Expat. Culture, Motherhood and Coping Abroad. January 7, 2015. My first thought when writing this is how can I write this and not offend anyone .so I hope I don’t. I know I’m not the only person in this situation, but I feel like the only one who doesn’t know how to, or have the money to solve it. Then a huge shock, I’m pregnant. And the things I’m missing seem to double, especially the safety issue. Imagine not being allowed to go sit in a local park and read ...Don’t...
